sound check

This blog is essentially in sound-check mode as I continue to await the arrival of the baby currently known as Matilda, or affectionately known as Tilda. Everyone keeps carrying on about how I should 'get some sleep while I can'. Meanwhile, I keep staying up to watch the Australian Open tennis in my anti-time-zone. Once Tilda's here I intend to regularly blog baby's first year. There are websites out there for what to expect in this week or that week and to tell you which sanitizer to use, but I hope to provide a real-life account of baby in the first year. I happened to have recently watched this Julie and Julia movie and prior to the movie had incidentally been considering blogging myself. So, I thought with the baby due any day now, I could blog her first year. Not exactly beef bourguignon but who knows, maybe I'll even bone a duck for Tilda's one year birthday. Stay tuned as we await the arrival.
